''In Bed'' must belong to a classical joke, doesn't it? I'm not native English but I'm pretty sure there must be some more. The incolplete tag is back so far.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 19:44, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, appending 'in bed' is a pretty common joke here in the US. It might not make much sense to those of who have English as a second language.[[Special:Contributions/173.245.56.74|173.245.56.74]] 15:00, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Since I expected this instead of what was actually written, I automatically added except in bed into the title text, which I think makes for a better joke. [[User:Athang|Athang]] ([[User talk:Athang|talk]]) 18:29, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Title-text + "...at the cinema", "...under the boardwalk", "...on the kitchen table", "...in prison"? It's not necessary to append "...in bed" to make sense. And (if that's what was meant, and sorry for not understanding) "...except in bed" also works as nicely as the in-bed version (but sort of hints that all of the aforementioned may be valid, in leiu). I see the joke there being the lack of vagueness in the title-text's 'cookie' text (save for the matter of the locale, if left unadorned). 178.107.249.215 21:19, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

I think the joke in the title text is that no ordinary fortune cookie would contain such a fortune. It's almost always something philosophical, never sexual.173.245.56.74 19:23, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
